    So is it that leftists are too small a group to be worth making political concessions to, or are they a large enough group to have an effect on elections?

    Why do Democrats feel entitled to the support of the left when they don’t offer anything to the left?

      That’s the problem they’re both. They’re that kick you always need to keep the right wing nuts at bay. But this election the American far left became nuts too and lost their common sense. Anyways enjoy your king

        I’m not really a fan of my king, the queen before him was far more likeable.

        Pithy remarks aside, I don’t see how the far left can be blamed for Harris losing given the pretty sizable margin by which she lost. And why would leftists be motivated to vote for a party that not only doesn’t offer them anything in terms of policy, but actively courts so called ‘moderate’ Republicans?
